Euro vs US$

Hi. We are aware that vendors at some destinations, particularly islands using ec$ will take US$. Does anyone know if US$ can be used in port towns in Barbados, Martinique, or Guadeloupe?

 

Thanks.

You'll have no problem whatsoever using the US Dollar in Barbados.

Never had a problem in Martinique most places.

Guadeloupe was the only place in the Caribbean we've found that had places that did not want our US Dollar except for a few places ....

Just in Guadeloupe Nov 2023.  All vendors in the port area accepted US$.  The Duty Free had no problem with my credit card. The tour boat operator gladly accepted tips in $ or Euros. It's probably a different story once outside the port gates but I didn't go there.
